If the farmer gets such crops in which the cost is very low and the profit is good, then the farmer will prefer to cultivate these crops. The government also makes farmers aware of such farming. In this context, the government has started the Aroma Mission to help the farmers. Under this, farmers are to be trained to cultivate aromatic crops. Let us tell you that this training will be given to the farmers by the Central Medicinal and Aroma Research Institute.

It is noteworthy that under the Aroma Mission by the Central Government, the farmers of the country will be given training to cultivate many types of aromatic crops including lemon grass, khus, mint, geranium, ashwagandha and many others.
